| You’d be surprised how vulnerable aquatic organisms are, and how far energy travels in water after an explosion… |

| I think the point is the opposite, I also expected a lot more damage from a bomb every hour |

| ▲ | throwaway2037 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | To be clear, coral reefs are essentially collectors/attractors/homes for a huge number of fish species. If you go away from a coral reef (even 50 meters), there is large drop-off in the amount of fish in the water column -- almost none. They are absolutely bomb fishing within coral reefs because there are lots of fish. |

| I would assume the area was larger than reported. I mean that's 24*365 bombs per year. |
